YStop engine.

.When a circuit breaker or fuse opens, it usually indicates a more serious problem exists. Contact a Factory Authorized Service Agent.

1 Circuit Breaker CB5

CB5 protects the 24 volt ac output to Remote 14 receptacle RC1. If CB5 opens, 24 volt ac output to RC1 stops.

2 Circuit Breaker CB6

CB6 protects the 115 volt ac output to Remote 14 receptacle RC1. If CB6 opens, 115 volt ac output to RC1 stops.

Press button to reset breaker. 3 Fuse F6 (See Parts List)

F6 protects the engine wiring sys- tem from overload. If F6 opens, engine will not crank.

4Fuse F1 (See Parts List)

5Fuse F2 (See Parts List)

Remove side panel.

F1 protects the exciter excitation winding from overload. If F1 opens, weld and auxiliary power output stops.

F2 protects the stator winding from overload. If F2 opens, weld output stops. Auxiliary power will still be available.

Replace any open fuses. Reinstall cover before operating unit.
